Talk:Wikileaks survives censorship, ddos, fire

From WikiLeaks

I don't know if it's just me, but prefacing every mention of lawyers on 'the other side' with the term shyster reeks of immaturity. If the truth of what's happening isn't powerful enough, then name-calling's not going to help.

I agree; the 'shyster' language and broken English near the end of the article is immature and dillutes the actual strong claims that Wikileaks has. Makes it sound like an issue of Pravda.

Agreed. Also some of the grammar is less than perfect. Do you have a native English speaker writing your English press releases?

"Shyster" is an appropriate term in this case

Not all lawyers are shysters, but Lavely & Singer seem to be prime examples of the dictionary definitions of "shyster":

a person (especially a lawyer or politician) who uses unscrupulous or unethical methods

Lavely & Singer are proud enough of their reputation for legalistic bullying to republish, on their own corporate website, an article which includes headings like "When it's time for the gloves to come off, these attack dogs of L.A. law get the call..." or "Full-Service Celeb Billy Club"
